For Better for Wc,SS.

Every woman who takes upon her.
self the ..holy estate'-and it is indeed
holy-'of matrimony" has to learn
soon or late-happy if she learn it
soon-that no two human beings can
be tied together for life without finding
endless difficulties, not only in the
world outside, but in each other.
These have to be solved, and generally
by the wife, says writer in the Con-
temporary Reeiew for May. She must
have a strong heart, u sweet temper,
an unlimited patience, and, above all.

the man, said of his bad wife-''all

and bound, not always by their own
fault, with a ghastly chain the iron OF
which enters their very soul, and from
which they have no hope of escape but
death.
The question l wish to raise is. how
long a woman should endure the chain;
how far she may righteously put up
with the husband whom, under what
ever circumstances, she has taken ''for
better for worse" and found hopeless
ly worse" The opposite question, as
to how a good man should deal with
bad wife, do not enter into. Men
are the lawmakers, and can be trusted
to take care of themselves.

While digging a ditch through q

they were mere shells, except some
teeth, which were well preserved. One
of these was about seven inches long,
four inches wide, twenty inches in cir
conference, and weighed two pounds

A curious phenomenon is often wit
messed in the mountainous districts of
Nevada. Mountaineers call it ''pog-
onip," and describe it as being a. sort
of frozen fog that appears sometimes
in winter, even on the clearest and
brightest of days. In an instant the
air is filled with floating needles of ice.
To breathe the pogonip is death to
the lungs. When it comes, people
rush to cover. The Indians dread it
as much as do the whites. 1t appears
to be caused by the sudden freezing in
the air of the moisture which collects
about the SUBMITS of the high peaks.
